Virus VS Protist

1. Virus VS Protist Compare and contrast about the following bacteria and virus.

2. Three different types of Protists Animal like protists -They are heterotrophs -Can move to get foot -Also called protozoans -Pseudopods, flagella, cilla, Paracite Plant like protists -they are also called algae -They are autotrophs -It can capture sunlight - photosynthesis -Can be source of food -Unicellular live in groups -contain pigments Fungus like protists -They are heterotrophs -They have cell walls -Use spores to reproduce -Slime, water, downy mold - Acts as a decomposer Similar things -They grow bigger and develop -They are one of the living organisms.

3. Virus Virus Virus is a tiny nonliving particle that enter and the reproduces inside a living cell. When they infect people, they get into a host which provides a nutrient and substances that they need. So basically the virus acts as a parasite. Virus’s name depends on the disease which it causes. The shaped of a virus is a round circle shape and there is a protein on the surface of it. Inside, there is protein coat, and genetic materials. How it causes Disease Through viruses can cause disease, they can also be used to treat and prevent illness. They make the host sick by reproducing a strong viruses. The disease well known that occurred was HIV, cold and etc. Gene Therapy Gene therapy is a thing that scientists figured out recently which is taking advantage using virus’s abilities. And they usually call it “messenger service” which is delivering genetic materials to cells that needs it
